Criticism
The Working Group Scientology was in constant legal dispute with Scientology since 1992, it should have come to over 50 court proceedings. The Scientologists see this persecuted and reviled their religion. A before the Federal Administrative Court in 2005 lost by the Working Group Scientology auditing procedures bezgl the omission of the spread of a boilerplate statement against the use of the technology of L. Ron Hubbard in companies that will be used by opponents of the AGS over again.
Renate Hartwig, himself a critic of Scientology, described in her book The Shadow player, the Working Group Scientology and its former director Ursula Caberta as " hypocrites and Pharisees at the wheel trough ," which is not about the fight against Scientology, but to preserve their positions.
